You also have P Bucky Brandon who is on the DL for the '68 season. There was one player who retired...Some of the top rookies available for '68 include Nolan Ryan, Andy Messersmith, Jerry Koosman, Bobby Bonds, Bob Watson, Joe Rudi, Carlos May, Graig Nettles and a number of other pitchers, this was the 'year of the pitcher'.
You may cut as many players as you like, we draft 4 Major Leaguers as AAA players, we do not use the generated players.
We hope to expand by 4 teams in the '69 season and 4 more in the '77 season, which will give us 8 post season teams.
